Hi, I just joined this forum after browsing through some websites to find more useful information on PCOS. My doctor last semester told me after a lot of blood tests and ultrasounds that I have PCOS, he put me on MET 150mg i think i cant remember right for about 3 months however it didnt help. For the past 4 years I have been gaining weight i loose a little well it seems as if I do and then gain it back all over again in a matter of a week. It is impossible for me to loose weight. I am a university student and every day monday-thursday I am up and walking from one class to another which is practically almost 4 miles a day, however my friends lost sooo much weight and they eat junk food on top of that. I am soo cautious about what I eat. I do not have a eating disorder or anything my friends and family actually have to yell at me to eat 3 times a day bc I am the, one meal a day kinda person. But still why am I gainign so much weight? On top of that I have acne. for the past 4 yrs I have taken acutane, soo many creams and pills, the doctor also changed atleast 3 different kinds of BCP's over the years but nothing seems to work! It gets worse month by month...now I am getting bald you can see my scalp under the only hair that i have. My pony tail is sooo small I am only 20 and I feel soo old..the embarassing part is that my mom and my mother in law are younger n thinner looking then me. I get comments from friends and guys i know that I have a good body bc I am 5'7 and it doesnt seem as if i am FAT just THICK. But I weight 200 pounds and it is soo hard for people to believe that. Any how i dunno what to do..the specialist that i am going to see is on jan. 16th. I have been waiting since sept to see her but she is soo buzzy. I am a little worried about why i am having my menstural cycle twice a month now. I cant wait till then to get advice. I NEED help! please someone respond back to my post! I have also read the IR diet but I do not know how to keep up with that. I do not eat out a lot maybe once every 3 weeks or twice but its nothing like burgers and stuff. I am living away from home my parents live in the US and i am in canada going to university. So it is way harder for me to keep up with my diet. I need some advice on how to lose the weight quick and a easy way. Plus my acne and hair problem. One more thing, I also see that my facial hair is growing faster and the hair on my head is falling is that normal? to have facial hair grow and the hair on ur head fall out? Thanks I hope i get some feedback soon. THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
if this post is hard to understand I am sorry. I am at the library using the internet and am kind of in a rush. |
